Whether it's cheese, milk, ice cream or yogurt, dairy products are a staple in the diets of Americans and people all over the world. During National Dairy Month each June, we recognize our nation's dairy producers and processors for making sure that we can enjoy quality dairy products.

According to the International Dairy Foods Association, National Dairy Month started out as National Milk Month in 1937 as a way to promote drinking milk. It was initially created to stabilize the dairy demand when production was at a surplus, but has now developed into an annual tradition that celebrates the contributions the dairy industry has made to the world.Â Now, many states have special events and observances in honor of dairy farmers and the industry.The dairy industry is an important economic engine in America.Â The farm value of milk production is second only to beef among livestock industries and is equal to corn. Milk is produced in all 50 states, and dairy farms are overwhelmingly family-managed.

Always true stewards of the land, dairy farmers have made tremendous strides when it comes to sustainability. In the past 63 years, the industry reduced its carbon footprint by 63 percent. This amazing statistic is a testament to the integrity of the nation's dairies, most of which are family-owned and well-connected to the communities around them.

So the next time you eat a cheese sandwich, drink a glass of cold milk, enjoy an ice cream cone or grab a cup of yogurt, think of the dairy farmers who make it all possible.Â And no matter where your dairy comes from, remember that while dairy farming is a labor of love, there's no doubt it is hard labor - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.Â
